Will Forscan tell you what date the oil life monitor was reset?

I couldn't find a specific topic for this, so I posted it here since I have an ST.  I neglected to note the last time I changed the oil.  Out of character for me.  Of course, I know the oil life monitor will tell me, but I live in Phoenix with intense heat and often change it earlier.  

 

Will Forscan show the date the oil life monitor was reset?  I don't see that available on the in-dash screen.  I use Amsoil and had ordered enough for several oil changes a while ago, so I don't know when I did it last.  Thanks!

If I relied on the oil life monitor I'd be changing the oil at around 10K miles, which is twice the mileage I change it at using good brand full synthetic.

 

If I were you I'd change the oil when the oil life monitor is around 50%.

 

Water under the bride but I take the attached photos at each oil change to keep with my Xcel spreadsheet.

 

I don't know, but doubt that Forscan would have  that history.
